Chinese investors maneuvered around heightened geopolitical tensions to make record-level investments into US startups in 2018, but increasingly hostile conditions will likely lead to a dropoff in Chinese funding for this year, according to a new report.
Chinese entities invested $3.6 billion last year in US companies, exceeding the previous record of $2.8 billion in 2015, although the number of deals dipped to about 270 from more than 300, according to the report from New York-based economic research firm Rhodium Group.
